Supernatural/Anime Crossover: Where Did My Romantic Comedy Go?

The arrow, imbued with spiritual light, pierced the sky with a whistling sound and plunged straight into the third eye on the Corpse Dance Bird's forehead.

Seeing that he had successfully defeated one, Feng showed no joy on his face.

Without pausing, he continued to draw his bow and shoot down the first few corpse-dancing birds.

However, she was still just a little girl, and even though she often trained with Kikyo, she didn't have much strength and her spiritual power was very weak.

However, after a few arrows, he began to pant heavily, his arms were sore and weak, and his pale yellow kimono was soaked with sweat.

At that moment, Hiyori Iki shielded her behind her.

He wielded the wooden scabbards like katanas, using the swordsmanship taught to him by Kujo Toru, and with the power of his left eye, cleanly and swiftly slaying the horde of corpse-dancing birds.

Unlike Feng's Demon-Slaying Arrow, every time she swung her sword, it went straight for the gaps in the Corpse Dance Bird's foul aura, and the monsters she killed would turn into ashes and disappear into the world.

At the same time, the able-bodied men were doing their best to drive away these monsters.

Although they weren't as strong as Kaede and Hiyori, who could take down one enemy at once, they were still able to protect their wives and children hiding in the cabin by working together.

The old village chief shakily climbed up the village's watchtower, and looking at the dense, seemingly endless flock of strange birds, his already weak heart almost stopped beating on the spot.

I was in a bad mood and started muttering to myself.

Why hasn't the priestess returned yet?

However, when his gaze fell on the two figures, one large and one small, he felt a sense of relief.

That's wonderful... the village is really getting better...

Once Feng grows up, he can protect the village for at least several more decades.

I hope the mage and the new priestess can settle down.

The village chief remembers very clearly that the mage came to the village that night after chasing a flying demon sword.

Even if we stay in the village now, what happens after we deal with the demon sword?

Standing on the high platform, looking at Hiyori's dashing figure, the old village chief began to seriously consider something:

What should we do to keep the mage here?

Feng's hands trembled slightly as he fired the last Demon-Slaying Arrow.

Compared to the beginning, this arrow had already lost its momentum when it flew out, trembling as it grazed the gaps in the corpse dance bird's feathers and entered its flesh.

A burst of light erupted, and its wings were instantly broken. The Corpse Dance Bird fell helplessly to the ground, where it was then easily defeated by Hiyori Iki, who arrived at the scene.

"...Sister...why haven't you arrived yet..."

His thin chest heaved violently; Feng felt he didn't even have the strength to wipe away his sweat.

The quiver behind them had already run out of arrows, but the flock of birds in the sky showed no signs of decreasing.

Several able-bodied men in the village have been injured.

If my sister were here, things definitely wouldn't be like this.

Iki Hiyori didn't answer her question, but instead stood in front of her, squinting as she looked at the horizon.

"coming!"

She shouted, her face full of excitement and joy.

Has my sister finally arrived?

Feng, with both hands supporting the bow, struggled to lift his head and look up at the sky.

Then she saw an arrow streak across the sky like a shooting star, its immense spiritual power stirring up a gale and leaving behind trails of flickering lightning as it pierced through the thick, dark clouds.

It swept across the village entrance, leaving a shallow ditch in its wake.

Black feathers are flying.

The pure spiritual power, in an unreasonable manner, drove away all the corpse-dancing birds blocking the way.

Feng suddenly turned his head to look in the direction from which the arrow had been shot.

On the hillside, the priestess held a longbow, her soft hair swaying in the wind, her white robes and crimson trousers fluttering in the breeze.

His face was filled with a sacred and inviolable majesty.

He reached behind him for the quiver, intending to fire another arrow.

Although that arrow wiped out a large number of corpse-dancing birds that were about to invade the village, it did not scare them away.

The Shikon Jewel is incredibly attractive to yokai; the weaker the yokai, the more they crave it.

Driven by desire, they had long since lost their reason.

But soon, she put her hand down again.

Because her intervention is no longer needed.

A golden glimmer suddenly appeared within the dark clouds formed by the swarm of corpse-dancing birds.

Like the light of dawn, it seemed to dispel all darkness.

A golden crow, its body wreathed in brilliant flames, soared into the sky, resembling the rising sun.

Trailing long golden flames, it crashed headlong into the horde of monsters.

boom!

It was a magnificent sight that the villagers had never seen before.

The sun exploded with a roar, and thousands of fireworks scattered in all directions, like a blooming golden flower.

Although those golden flames had no physical form and no temperature, they began to burn fiercely once they touched the Corpse Dance Bird.

Wisps of black mist rose from their bodies, then were instantly purified by the golden flames.

The entire dark cloud instantly transformed into a golden sea of ​​fire.

One after another, the Corpse Dance Birds plummeted to the ground.

A torrential downpour of black gold rained down from the heavens and earth.

The old village chief curiously reached out and caught a falling golden raindrop.

The illusory flames seemed to dance in his palm as if they were alive. Instead of burning him, they made him feel as if his hands were soaking in hot water, which was very comfortable.

A moment later, the sky cleared up.

All the Corpse Dance Birds were completely wiped out.

Kikyo glanced at the golden light that had entered Kujo Tetsu's body and pursed her lips.

Besides the strong aura of the sun, she also smelled the scent of a great demon.

However, she did not mention it aloud. She simply thanked Kujo Toru and headed towards the village.

With the danger over, the women and children who had been hiding in their homes rushed out to search for their families. Only after seeing that they were safe and sound did they breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Those who were injured were quickly given a basin of clean water to wipe away the bloodstains and wounds, and then, following the steps taught by Kikyo, they applied herbal medicine and bandaged the wounds.

Everyone's heart was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

They finally managed to survive another day in this chaotic world.

The old village chief gazed at the setting sun on the horizon, and whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that the scene before him was much brighter than usual.

Kikyo and Kujo Toru walked side by side through the mud.

The vast majority of the Corpse Dance Birds were completely burned by the Golden Crow, leaving not a trace.

Only a dozen or so corpses of the Corpse Dancer remained scattered on the ground.

Each corpse had an arrow stuck in it, clearly Feng's handiwork.

"elder sister!"

"Lord Kujo!"

Two figures, one tall and one short, were slumped on the ground. Upon seeing the two approaching people, they immediately propped themselves up and stood up.

Kujo Toru and Kikyo actually returned very quickly; they hadn't actually been fighting for very long.

However, this was still the first time that Hiyori and Kaede had faced a monster alone, and they were under tremendous pressure both physically and mentally. Now that they had relaxed, they felt completely exhausted.

"Sister, I did everything you asked!"

"Yes, I saw it. Well done."

Kikyo gave a gentle smile and stroked Kaede's head.

The corpses of those Corpse Dance Birds weren't something Feng couldn't purify directly, but rather something she had taught them before.

When exorcising monsters, unless absolutely necessary, it is best to let the villagers witness the exorcism, and the monster's corpse should be left behind for them to dispose of.

On the one hand, it's to give the villagers a sense of fighting alongside them; otherwise, over time, the villagers might stop seeing the shrine maiden as a human being.

On the other hand, it can eliminate their anxiety. Once they get used to seeing the corpses of monsters, they won't be too afraid when new monsters attack again.

Seeing that even when Kaede is alone, she insists on doing what she taught her, Kikyo feels very gratified.

Although my younger sister doesn't have the same innate spiritual power as me, she has this heart, and she will definitely become a great shrine maiden in the future.

Kikyo was very certain of this.

After leading the villagers to throw the corpse of the Corpse Dancer into the Bone-Eating Well, and then checking the wounded, it was already completely dark.

Thanks to these monsters attacking the village at mealtimes, the villagers now have to cook in the dark.

In those days, lamp oil was a very precious commodity, not to mention candles, which were basically a special supply for the Ming and Han ethnic groups. Many villagers had never even seen one in their entire lives.

Inside the shrine, the firelight barely illuminated the surroundings.

A simple miso soup was simmering in a hanging pot.

The four of them sat down together and began to eat.

Not a word was spoken.

The string of cured meat that the village chief had just delivered brought tears to the eyes of Iki Hiyori, who had been eating simple meals for two whole days.

Although the taste wasn't great, at least it had a meaty flavor!

Feng glanced at her sideways, sighed, and helplessly put the meat from his bowl into hers.

"The master has replied, instructing most of his disciples to pay attention to the traces of the demon sword."

Kikyo put down the ceramic bowl in her hand, put her hands together, and spoke softly.

"It's troublesome."

Kujo Toru also nodded.

The room fell silent again.

Kikyo has a rather aloof personality, and Kujo Toru isn't the type of person who particularly likes to talk.

However, the atmosphere did not become awkward due to the silence; instead, a silent tranquility flowed through it.

"The bandit fight is over. Tomorrow I'm going there to clean up the resentment and the corpses."

Kikyo suddenly spoke again, her gaze falling on Kujo Toru:

"The Corpse Dance Birds today were probably attracted here by that area."

"I go with you."

Kujo Toru had his own ideas.

This era is teeming with monsters and vengeful spirits, making it the perfect time for him to level up.

He had witnessed the scene of bandits fighting each other from afar today.

The number of participants was quite large; it's likely that all the notorious bandits within a radius of thirty to fifty miles were involved. The shouts of battle and the flames were deafening.

If it can attract such a large number of Corpse Dance Birds today, who knows what kind of monsters it will attract tomorrow.

"it is good."

Kikyo's eyes seemed to hold a deep, unspoken meaning, as if they were filled with something. She softly agreed.

The night passed quickly, and the sun gradually rose.

After a quick breakfast brought by the village chief, the four of them split up and began their separate activities.
